Broadcasting from his home—in compliance with best practices for halting the spread of the novel coronavirus COVID-19—the Last Week Tonight host ended his March 29 episode with a segment based on a 1992 TV art auction aired by central Pennsylvania NPR and PBS media partner WITF. “If you are worried you might be running out of content that can help you mentally escape, then you’re actually in luck, because I was recently introduced to one of the greatest pieces of television ever broadcast and it begins like this,” Oliver said, introducing the clip after a far more serious segment about the ongoing response to COVID-19....

A 20-year-old of immense promise who inspired Instanbul Basaksehir to the unlikeliest of title challenges in Turkish football last season, he arrived at Roma a promise, a rough diamond yet to be polished. He’d already turned down a move to Manchester City after learning a loan move was being arranged – and then it appeared Roma were set to do the same, with Sassuolo keen to borrow Turkey’s latest wonderkid....

But what was most fascinating about Sri Lanka’s triumph was the opening-partnership strategy employed to maximum effect – the opening pair of Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluvitarana, which changed the limited overs cricket forever. Since the advent of the game, teams have been using technically superior batsmen as openers to negate the new ball threat from fast bowlers. The same philosophy followed into the limited-overs format. Although there were a few exceptions like Kris Srikanth, no international team made a conscious effort to change that philosophy....

The Undertaker revealed what was the reasoning behind him confronting Lesnar, minutes after the latter had lost a UFC Heavyweight title match. The Undertaker on Brock Lesnar confrontation: The Undertaker and Lesnar would meet inside the squared circle four years later The Undertaker also made it clear that he spoke to Brock later in the night before leaving and made sure that he was okay.

The microdebrider is a cylindrical instrument that has a hollow tube with an inner and outer portion. At the end of the tube, both inner and outer portions of the tube have a blade that cuts tissue as the blades move back and forth. The catheter has continuous suction applied to the device so that cut tissue is captured and removed from the surgical area. The faster the blades move, the smaller the pieces, while the slower the blades are set, the larger the pieces....

“A game against Aston Villa has nothing to do with a game against Paul Lambert, it’s 11 players against 11 players that will try to compete against each other to get three points on Saturday. “We will be tested because they are a young and exciting side. They have good offensive options and are going to play a certain way which makes it difficult for you, but I’ll go back to what I said – it’s about trying to win football matches....

Last year, Hiroo Onoda died in Tokyo at the age of 91. Onoda was the Japanese lieutenant who fought in the Philippines in World War II, but refused to believe that the war was actually over, taking air-dropped leaflets to be enemy propaganda. It took until 1974, with the Japanese government sending Onoda’s brother and former commander, relieving him of duty, to get him to come home. MORE: 1970s baseball caps, rated by a ’90s kid...

Hundreds of people, including civilians, have been killed as the second week of heavy clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan potentially turns into a third. The war is over disputed territory widely called the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, but known as the Republic of Artsakh to its Armenian defenders. The Republic of Artsakh is almost totally Armenian, about 99 percent. Part of the oldest Christian state in the world, it remains a front line against encroaching Islamism....

The mountain of content being vaulted when The Witch Queen releases has a great example of the way Guardians sometimes step out of their role as a hero. The story in Forsaken took Cayde-6 away from players, and subsequently may have been more about revenge than justice. These two can be easy to conflate, but they aren’t always the same. Looking at how the Guardian’s role can change like this is important because players who are invested in the story should prepare for a worst-case scenario....

What is happening to these young men? Who or what is influencing them? I submit that the absence of male role models and slanted television images of black males have something to do with it. More than half of black children live in homes headed by women, and almost all of the black teachers they encounter are also women. This means that most African-American male children do not often meet black male role models in their daily lives....

Tottenham have won just two of their opening six top-flight matches this term and were knocked out of the EFL Cup at the third-round stage by League Two side Colchester United on Tuesday. Kane has started each of the north London club’s league matches and believes their underwhelming start to the campaign is inexcusable. “I’d say it’s been disappointing. I don’t think there’s any hiding behind that,” he told Sky Sports....

It was back in 2018 that Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios were developing limited series based on more side characters who were unlikely to have their own titular roles in future films while still connecting their storylines to the main films. The 3 series were to kick off the start of phase 4 for the MCU, which continues to expand the MCU universe in unique and exciting ways. RELATED: The Power Behind MCU’s Use Of The Color Purple...

This line isn’t fiction. But does it mean that at any given time, just 2 percent of MLB players — or 15 players out of 750, until rosters expand in September — are destined for the Hall of Fame? Not so much.

It’s a dangerous world out there, especially if that world happens to be completely infested with zombies. Such is the world of Telltale Games’ critically-acclaimed decision-based drama game series The Walking Dead, which accumulated over 90 ‘Game of the Year’ awards for its first season and is currently continuing the story in a second season. The Walking Dead season 2 got off to a powerful start with episode 1, ‘All That Remains,’ in which players were reacquainted with a slightly older and more world-weary Clementine and given the option to have her react to her past experiences and present hardships in a number of different ways....

There have, however, been a few hiccups along the way. Most noticeably, some players have suffered through some severe frame rate issues. CD Projekt Red promised to alleviate the issues via patches, with updates for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game. Unfortunately for Xbox One players, the Microsoft console’s patch may have alleviated frame rate issues, but it has apparently led to a reduction in visual quality overall....

One of the people working to close that gap is Dr. Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi, an organization that promotes access to vaccines in developing nations. “At the end of the day, we’re only safe if we’re all safe,” says Dr. Berkley, who is a native New Yorker. “Now with the variants and with what’s happening in India, all of a sudden people are realizing that that really is true....

He is a regular Fortnite streamer and posts around three hours of content everyday. Further, he is active on both Twitch and YouTube, and also has other social media accounts on Twitter and Instagram. However, even the best gamers have an off day, where nothing seems to work or they end up getting killed in the most unluckiest way possible. Here, we look at an incident which just does not bode well with the reputation SypherPK has garnered over the past few years....

While Justice League saw Barry Allen serve as a light-hearted source of comedic relief, his personality may be too much to carry an entire film. Whether Allen is going on about his confusion surrounding brunch, or trying to race Superman, he is hard to take seriously as a profound character, whose story an audience is willing to follow and become emotionally invested in over the course of an entire film....
